ADIDAS CARBONBRAID 2015 COMPOSITE FIELD HOCKEY STICK. The worlds first fully braided hockey stick! Precision manufactured with carbon-braiding over soft core, this stick is set to revolutionise hockey stick production.

Made in the Netherlands with carbon braiding technology usually reserved for the aerospace and performance automotive industry, many of us have been waiting for this stick since it's initial launch presentation at the World Cup 2014 in Den Haag. Talking directly with Adidas development engineers about braiding technology, their research programme and the advantages this stick brings to the player, we know Carbonbraid will offer. Enhanced hitting - not only through high carbon content and superior stiffness, but also by more rapid return to original state.

2 years of research and testing shows an average of 7% energy loss when transferred from stick to ball, but with Carbonbraid this loss is reduced to only 3%. More energy is transferred to the ball and the ball moves faster when hit with Carbonbraid - fact.

Enhanced feel - soft core, and carefully selected fibre positioning (delivered consistently and accurately due to the precision manufacturing process) both help give the stick a soft feel more akin to wooden sticks of yesteryear. Enhanced durability - precision machine manufacturing allows exact fibre alignment even around the head of the stick, along with increased wall thickness which combine to contribute to much greater impact resistance and offer a pure precision engineered product to very low tolerances.

Of course the Carbonbraid still offers great features like touch compound, great balance, light weight, and fantastic shape for 3D skills hitting pushing and flicking. Be part of the revolution, and be sure to share your experience with a review. Made by a carbon braiding system.
